This sort of thing happens a lot when you first set up a free plan. Some part of it turns out to cost more money than you expected, and it’s a small but growing segment. If you’re going to have to pull back in it eventually, why wait? Waiting might just annoy twice as many people when you inevitably have to introduce stricter limits later.
- TimWolla 6y ago> and it’s a small but growing segment They could have grandfathered the existing accounts into the 2000 minutes. Then the segment would no longer be growing and stay small, no?
- foota 6y agoExcept in this case individual users will also grow. You'd have to do something like grant them their current usage plus some buffer (without letting them know ahead of time maybe, since otherwise this is gameable).
- skinnymuch 6y agoWhy do you need a buffer? If you’re grandfathering in old and limiting new users more, what is gameable? Besides a small portion of people registering accounts in the short time between announcement and implementation?
